After the final whistle, Buffon sent his shorts sailing into the stands and wandered around in his pants

Rakitic had reached out to Buffon on social media after he was devastated to watch the legend have to bow out of international football without reaching the World Cup- touched by his words, Buffon had promised the Croatian his shirt.

Buffon kept another clean sheet for his side in their clash against Barcelona, which leaves the Italian side in second place in their Champions League group.

The shot-stopper evidently chuffed with his side's performance waved to home fans, in appreciation, as he paraded through the box after the final whistle.

When he reached the penalty spot, he began to pull down his shorts over his ankles and sent them into the crowd.

After the draw to Barcelona, Juventus’ Gianluigi Buffon handed over his match shorts to a fan

Dear @ivanrakitic , as a goalkeeper I might still play but playing for Croatia as a midfielder in your place might not be a great idea: I am saying it for your good sake.😂 Joking apart, your words have been a great gift. Thanks to you and @JordiAlba: my jersey is waiting for you
